Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just have a question on the expenditure category for the School of Community Government of other expenses of $1.314 million. I just want some clarity, some detail on what that includes. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The question was regarding other expenses, $1.3 million. The other expenses are increases of $15,000; attributed to the sunset of the management drinking water program in the NWT, $30,000; an internal transfer of $45,000 from regional operations to the GNWT Circuit Rider Training Program. This funding is required to continue the program.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Circuit Rider Training Program is a partnership arrangement we have with this company to go into the communities and work with the water plant operators and to provide certification and training. We are also working with another company that we will hopefully bring on stream at some point to work in this area also.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There is some funding in contract services and in regional operations, but there are also costs associated with this program within the department because we have staff that work with our contractors. So there will be travel and production of materials and other costs, school costs as well as the contracting services for the external contractor.
